What am I missing ? The attachment screw comes up but then stops. Like the rail grabber is stuck on the bottom of the unit ?

New Wilcox Raptar Owner: Mounting and Trueing
Hi, Just got a RAPTAR S for a demo gun we're building for our shop. How do you get the RAPTAR to mount lower on the Spuhr mount? I've seen some people with in mounted totally flush in the center channel. Do you pull off that rail mount? If so how does it attached? Does it remove from the...

Which model do you have? That other thread mentioned "S" models as being glued. I'm curious if they're gluing all of them.
Yes but it sticks up so much higher versus using the screw.
I understand they went to that due to zero holding issues with just the screw but il cross that bridge later.

To save the screw and move between spotter and scopes, I found one of these at Own The Night. The height trade off comes back into fruition however. It has an open center which works beautifully over top. Trade off for convenience and modularity.

Cost?
Maybe I will switch to that when I re arrange my stuff for the 100th to meet changing objectives lol
if yur running a clip on in front make sure all of your lasers are clearing it.
Maybe $85 bucks. Enough to say that’s kind of a scalp. Not too much not to buy.
Edit: Sorry... way more than my remembrance.

The riser on my Raptar was fairly easy to get off. I was able to pull it off by hand with a little bit of elbow grease. Nothing that would cause alarm.
I do NOT think they did it because of any alignment issues. Most rails out there are not STANAG compliant, and simply do NOT work with the Raptar without the adapter. Also, as was mentioned, larger clip-ons we're too high for the Raptar to clear using the low-profile mounting and required the riser to clear.

Did you have issues clearing your Xii with the Raptar? What mount/height were you using?
FWIW I'm using a Sphur SP-4006 with the raptar adapter A-0029. With the raptar on the standard mount it clears the Xii just fine
When you say "standard mount" do you mean with the installed riser still attached, or did you remove the Raptar riser?
. Was worried about it clearing the UTC
Installed riser still attached
Yeah, that makes quite a difference. With the factory-installed Raptar riser removed, it sits pretty low on the rail. That's how I like it. It still clears the Xii, but it just manages to NOT clear the X.
I don't have the setup on my rifle at the moment. I'll put it all back together and post some faux toes.
Hi,
Well I think I am going to thread one of my long accessory mounts and just screw the Raptar ES direct to it and see how it does....I just cannot see putting essentially a "spacer" between my accessory rail and the tension screw.

I know they make a one piece mount that is capable of taking Hoplite accessory rails, and it fits a Revic scope. 
Meh QD is over rated. Get a mount with 1/2” nuts and use a torque wrench
Hi,
We do not make QD mount system. We pretty much make everything with the least amount of moving parts. "QD" is almost as bad as the term "Military Grade", lol.

You wouldn't happen to have a spare accessory mount would you?
Hi,
Short or Long?

I think it’s been updated since, but this will give you an idea.
It’s a quality piece of work and engineering.
If your talking about the QD Mount and thesis doesn’t want it I will buy it
So, just got this setup up and running. Completely eliminates the need for the Raptar factory-installed riser using the Spuhr A-0029C Raptar S Adapter.
It clears the UTC-X — the “B” did not, by a hair, but DID clear the UTC-Xii, and had no problem with the PVS-30 or PVS-24. The PVS-27 will likely still be a problem, but I can’t confirm until my upgraded WP 27 gets back from Jay’s grubby little hands.
ETA: This is on a Spuhr 1.35” / 34mm centerline height above rail, because I wanted this rig to be perfectly inline with the UTC clip-ons. I presume a standard 1.5” high mount might have more of a chance of clearing a 27, which I also have and will check once my Super Special 27 comes home from Camp Sure Shot.

If you Google Audere scope mounts it may give you some teasers of the potential. The over the top rails are their “scope link interface”.

Looks like you’re not using the QD that Felipe posted, correct?
Also sounds like you’re saying the C mount clears things the B wouldn’t. Aren’t they the same height, with only difference being the C is modified for Gen 1 S?
Thanks.
ETA: I AM tracking your 27 is going to be NICE!
This is the only difference from the B and C adapters. The C’s pic rail section sits lower where shown in red.

Correct, this isn’t about the QD mount, but rather running the Raptar at it’s lowest profile setting without it being blocked by the clipon. Using the riser or QD mount makes the Raptar literally tower over the gun. It looks hideous and makes it unwieldy.
Not sure about the B/C Spuhr Raptar mount naming, just going by memory. They have one (my first one) that is about 1/4-3/8” lower. I really like it because you can mount the Raptar with just barely enough clearance over the scope so it looks and feels much more compact. Unfortunately, it won’t complerely clear the X.
If it was as small and the same price as the V1 Raptar, the answer is yes.
This stuff will be integrated into good scopes in the not so distant future
Adapt or be left in the past
